    Clarke is so much better when we are countering. Doesn’t suit him when we are losing and the team are packing the space in front of him

    Looking difficult to break down with no running from midfield.

    So. Their forward steps across to
    Stop a free kick. Ref blows whistle but doesn’t book him. Just rolled the ball back on the oucktch too. Seen about ten bookings for exactly that this season.

    The second half is crying out for Roberts.

    Looks like our heads aren’t quite in the game yet. Need to sharpen our passing and increase the tempo.

    I think Bennette doesn’t suit playing a team like this with no space in front of him.

    Aouchiche is very good at close dribbling and skipping away from challenges into space so him and Roberts might work

    I don't think he's had a meaningful touch yet.

    I’d go 3 at the back and take Huggins off. We’re barely going to need to defend second half so Ba and Clarke will be fine as “wing backs” when required. Get another midfielder in there with a bit of quality, Roberts or Aouchiche.
